What happened: MLS also fined Inter Miami CF and Guillermo Hoyos undisclosed amounts. League policy requires clubs to be on the field and ready at the scheduled start of both halves.
Why it matters: Repeated violations trigger escalating fines and eventually a head-coach suspension. The penalty removes Hoyos from the sideline as second-place Miami hosts Montréal.
By the numbers: Inter Miami enters Saturday at 11-4-6 with 39 points. CF Montréal is 5-10-6 with 21 points.
What to watch: Hoyos will serve the ban Saturday against CF Montréal. Inter Miami’s adherence to scheduled kickoff times remains under scrutiny.
